In the coming days and months, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to witness an unprecedented wave of defections from other political parties. Reliable sources indicate that several National Assembly members, State Assembly members, and even Governors have already pledged allegiance to the ruling party in secrecy, waiting for the right moment to make their announcements public.
Political observers suggest that the mass defection trend is fueled by strategic positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections, where party loyalty will be tested like never before. The APC, already a dominant force, appears to be consolidating its strength, leaving opposition parties struggling to maintain their ranks.
However, despite the influx of new members, trust issues will define the political landscape heading into 2027. Suspicion will run deep across all levels—within political parties, among politicians, and even between party members and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The election season will be marked by betrayals and counter-betrayals, setting the stage for one of Nigeria’s most intense and unpredictable political battles.
